Impact of solar distribution Field on Energy and comfort results?

Has anyone tried to study the impact of using different solar distribution fields on Energy and comfort results? I have modeled a building and using FullInteriorAndExterior results in large number of errors, (which is understandable, due to non-convex surfaces) but I don't get any errors while using MinimalShadowing.

I was wondering, will it make a big difference if I continue using MinimalShadowing instead of FullInteriorAndExterior?

Any thoughts?
